This feature, I don't know exactly what it is called, but it is probably something like Control Lock. You know how you have a Caps Lock key that locks all keys in capital letter mode? There is a key combination you can press (after 38 years I still don't know exactly what it is) that locks the Control key down. I always seem to press it, or it could be that with the combination of Virtual Machines, Remote Desktop, VPN and Web Meeting, the flag gets set in the system.
Anyhow, with this (and other) mysterious key combinations, Control, and sometimes Shift and Control, get turned on. And, what's worse, I can't figure out how to turn it off, other than to go hog-wild-crazy mashing random combinations of Shift, Fn, Ctrl and Alt in an epileptic fit, until it eventually goes away.
Does anyone else have this? Today, none of that epilepsy came through for me, I finally rebooted (which means, disconnect from VPN, try to pause VM's with the mouse not responding properly because Ctrl is locked, and more). Let's try to identify the key sequences to turn this on and off, if anyone knows please post.
And again, why? Why exactly do people actually pay money (let alone lots of money) for Windows? I can understand the PC part, that's inexpensive compared to Macs (on a superficial level).
